Method

Preparation Instructions

1

Make the Olive Salad

In a medium bowl, combine the black olives, green olives, pickled vegetables, minced garlic, red wine vinegar, oregano, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let it sit for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

2

Prepare the Muffuletta

Slice the sesame loaf in half horizontally. On the bottom half, layer the sliced ham, salami, provolone, and Swiss cheese.

3

Add the Olive Salad

Spread a generous amount of the olive salad over the cheese layer. Top with the other half of the loaf.

4

Toast the Sandwich

Preheat a panini press or skillet over medium heat. Drizzle a little olive oil on the outside of the sandwich and toast it for about 5-7 minutes until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted.

5

Serve

Remove from heat, slice into portions, and serve warm.
